Everybody’s movements, agenda and interests are front and center. From their clothing line, to their philosophy, to their new channel. Your local fire department, the FDA and the Presidents of your top five favorite countries have a follow-us-on-social-media campaign going on. No shame in their game. I’m like WTF, bruh?  Everybody and everything is vying for your attention, focus, support, dollar, time, donations, likes and subscribes. It’s a gol’ darn cotton picking mess I tell ya Annie! No disrespect to my people or anything, I’m just saying! A bit of it has it’s uses and needs, but c’mon Ray J? WTF my human family? Unless you’re worried about missing something. Like what Lenny Thomas ate for dinner this evening or what your favorite public figure thinks about whatever current topic is circulating at the moment, and…….

Wait, give me a moment…. Whoo…

Sorry about that. My head hurts from being bombarded with every news feed I pass; and blasted on social media with every thought and expression that pops out of someone’s wacky where-am-i? head; and thrown into every conversation within earshot; and whispered at, to buy nearly every for-sale item produced from here to China’s no-they-didn’t underground market… YES THEY DID! Thanks a lot Obama… It’s the noisiest whispers I’ve ever heard. It’s actually more like getting your face crammed into everything the world spits out by the minute. And there’s always somebody around to encourage more of it. Leaving you dizzy and much less able to prioritize your life.

Yep. It’s one of those hidden causes of anxiety for a lot of us. How many people are making some sort of claim to that these days? It’s a psychological issue that has been infecting more and more people as a response to the meaningless “access to information”. The kind of info that just keeps arbitrarily expanding like the big bang theory, with no resistance; every single day; through technology, social media and walking gossip tanks. The clutter and barrage of info is not entirely to blame, but we can definitely see a pattern there. They’ve come up with more stuff to share with you than outer space has to offer. And there’s more random knowledge out here to chew on than 6 feet of bubble tape. Trivial stuff. SMH.

Whether it’s random knowledge, news, gossip or entertainment, stop obsessing over and prioritizing it. Making it the ubiquitous standard in your life. You’re not profiting from it. Someone else is. There’s no use for it. Unless one of your life goals is to set the record for most wins on the jeopardy show or something, much of it deserves the boot. For too many of us, much of what has been committed to our personal memory is stale outdated trivia, overshadowing meaningful concepts, ideas and inspirations. Those that have been, and could still be, positively transformational for us. We definitely don’t want that dynamic anymore! Or am I speaking only for myself?

It serves us more use to Bless the mind with some Feng Shui and help it balance. Instead of trivial archiving, give it the re-arrangement and freed space it needs to meditate on the gifts of life. Clear the unnecessary trivia. It’s just a bunch of indifferent distractions. They make no difference either way. And too much indifference can keep you from choosing a path and getting tuned in to what’s important. It can even disrupt some of your abilities to be loyal, seek love and make solid commitments. How so? Because you’re programmed with indifference. Training your mind and memory to value and focus on things that don’t matter. Whatever you’re being programmed with will probably still be in your life after the valuable people and/or opportunities fade. It’s an unconscious coping mechanism for many. If you stay consumed in the activity, you don’t have to feel or even notice how jacked up things are. It’ll eventually get swept under the rug of mind dumbing information surplus. A paradigm shift is desperately calling!

A de-cluttered mind, free of indifferent trivia is surely a key element needed to take action towards those prosperous events in life that haven’t happened yet, but should be happening already! Did you follow me there? We all have something like that in our lives that is in dire need of our attention and effort. Care to engage a paradigm shifting challenge with me? Allow your mind to forget and flush out the negativity along with the useless trivia. Whatever you and the life around you needs to benefit, progress and be well is the new focus to commit to memory! Period! For me, some of the bigger things are healing and recovery (physical health and beyond), exploring this fascinating planet, reaching new creative/artistic heights, having more enlightening experiences and co-existing in balanced fulfilling interactions with those that I share life with. What are some of yours? Leave em in the comments so you won’t forget. (Straight plug, low key, though) 🙂

Seriously though. Get a pen and write a few down if it’ll help the memory. You don’t have to jump to the big and broad stuff like I just did if you get anxiety or easily overwhelmed. Take it easy. Start where it’s comfortable and makes enough sense. Now just chill and go over those new thoughts with yourself for a comfortable while. Talk about it realistically with yourself and share some supporting self-dialogue for a while. Aloud if possible. Don’t worry, you won’t look crazy for communicating aloud with yourself. I do it all the time! Even a whisper counts. Now create some mental visuals to see your focal points in action and get those ideas circulating through the mind. Keep communicating and picturing scenes in your mind, no matter what tries to interfere. Engage yourself and your positive ideas as intimately and completely as possible. What’s all this for? By doing this, you’re causing the focal points you thought of (or wrote down) to become more of an experience and event that you are actively filtering into the memory, on purpose (point one). And, something stupid that’s been strutting around up there HAS to go to fit your new God given ideas in there (point two). Even if you are not sure on what actually got deleted. Don’t trip. Let your memory do it’s thing! You got it! If you get good at doing this… I’m sorry, WHEN you get good at doing this, the mind will think these thoughts are actually happening. Because they are! Consider this my friendly reader. A simple thought or idea can easily get discarded by our forget system, but a full on experience is much harder to get rid of. Keep doing this and your mind will be like, “If you spent passionate time and energy on it, it must be worth saving. I’m locking it in captain!”

You will be taking the time to consciously influence those filters I accused of being random and commit that goodness to memory yourself! Soon your mind will get the message and show support. Just as it helped you out when you were relentlessly shoving data banks of garbage in. No more being on auto-pilot with fleeting thoughts at the mercy of an arbitrary mental filter.

Cooperate with the mind’s built in trash removal and de-cluttering system. When it’s functioning properly at least. Going forward, concentrate on allowing your mind to skip the negative BS and drop the trivial pursuits. Take a look at your Life with a clear view and it becomes obvious, you’ve got so much better to do! Oooooooh! 🙂
